FOCUS-39216- Parent Portal: New Profile to Allow Viewing Protected Students

This enhancement introduces a new Profile permission for Parent Types, called "View Protected Students," in the Focus SIS feature for Protected Students. When this permission is selected on a parent profile, the parent will have the ability to view their student's demographic information in their portal, even if the student is flagged as protected. Conversely, if the permission is not selected, the parent will not be able to view any demographic information for students marked as protected. This new feature provides more flexibility and control for parents while ensuring the privacy and protection of sensitive student information in the Parent Portal.

See Student Fields > Protected and Hidden Student Fields for details.

With this improvement, users can now add personalized notes for students directly in the Magnet/Special Assignment section, enhancing the level of detail and customization available for managing student assignments within the School Choice Module.

See Magnet/Special Assignment and School Choice Reports for the reflected changes.

FOCUS-39184- Scheduling: Total Number of Students per Period Display Option on Teacher Schedules Report

This enhancement introduces a new setting called "Total Number of Students for the Entire Period" on the Teacher Schedules Report.

FOCUS-39176- Print Avery Labels: New Feature for Barcodes in User Print Avery Labels

This feature enhancement for the User Print Avery Labels introduces a new insert field option for User ID barcode. When this option is included in the label, a barcode representing the User's ID will be generated on the label. This addition allows for efficient labeling and tracking of users, as the barcode can be scanned to quickly retrieve the User's ID information.

FOCUS-39126- Course Catalog: Connect Course Length between Catalog and Master Schedule

This feature enhancement establishes a connection between the district's Course Catalog and the school-based Master Schedule for Course Length. The options for Course Length have been streamlined to match those available on Courses. When a Course Length is selected in the Catalog and pushed to the Master Schedule, it will be reflected on the School Course. Moreover, administrators will not be able to modify the Course Length on the Course when it is locked by the district through the Catalog. This improvement ensures consistency and synchronization of Course Length information between the Course Catalog and the Master Schedule, providing a more efficient and unified management system for administrators.

FOCUS-39098- Scheduling: Elementary Scheduler should Preserve Locked Schedules

With this improvement, the scheduler will respect the locked status set by administrators for certain student schedules, preventing any unintended modifications or changes during the scheduling process.
